Finally sat down and got a proper run on tape. I routed a new way through the game with easier "backup strats" and focusing mainly on running Gnade and Lizard through the game. From Class 1 to first race in Class 3, I use the Gnade upgraded to the current class, before switching to Lizard for the reminder of the run + Assoluto for Ovals. Although since I finished 1st on all races in this run, the backup strats from Class 5 wasn't present and I got to buy Ghepardo instead of upgrading Fatalita to Class 5.

I'm going to look into how bad the EU version squares up against the other versions, as even though the Gnade 1st class has a higher top speed through out the game, it seems that the 50 FPS might be slowing the timer down significantly. Maybe I have to check out NTSC-J or NTSC-U.
